Chapter 227: Chapter 154: A Brand-New Black Market Town

He wasn’t lying.

Just now, when Time Crystal underwent changes, he felt his Primordial Energy level improve greatly once again, even surpassing the growth brought by the absorption of Consciousness Residue on previous occasions.

It seems as though changing destiny and opening new future lines have brought significant benefits to his Primordial Energy Training.

He even felt that, even without such leap-type growth, he could touch the threshold of Master of Primordial Energy within a century.

And he was sure this was not his illusion.

To know, even historically, his son, Shen Li, hailed as humanity’s greatest hero, took nearly over three hundred years to become a Master of Primordial Energy, yet the time used by the present Gong Chu was even longer, so it can be imagined how much growth he harvested by changing the future several times.

"Actually, Consciousness Residue is not such a profound Primordial Energy Technology, its challenges mainly lie in resilience and strength of will..." Gong Chu indeed began to explain.

Shen Shi even tried it in the black market.

This technology felt somewhat similar to multi-tasking, but more thorough, like a personality division, splitting off a secondary personality entirely consistent with his main personality’s character, maintaining a certain degree of autonomy even after complete separation, yet it remains under the stringent control of the main personality, even able to retract with just a thought.

The whole process was indeed extremely difficult.

Ultimately, Shen Shi did not succeed.

However, he truly felt he was not far off.

"Didn’t expect the Clan Leader has such strength." Gong Chu looked at Shen Shi, unable to hide his surprise, "Seems within a hundred years, the Clan Leader can truly master the entire clan."

"Still a long time."

"Not long." Gong Chu shook his head, "It’s estimated within three hundred years, the war with the Daike People will remain in a full defense stage."

Shen Shi was stunned, quickly reacting.

"You are prepared for prolonged warfare?"

"That’s correct, this could likely be a war lasting several thousand years." Gong Chu said, "At least the current strategy is this, though Daike Civilization’s technological development has almost stagnated, it doesn’t mean they have entirely no development, currently far from being our match, if not for other battlefields the Daike People are engaged in, unable to put all their efforts into the war with us, we might barely have any resistance capabilities..."

As Gong Chu explained, Shen Shi roughly understood the reason.

Wars between C-level Civilizations are not as straightforward as those involving cross-level civilizations.

Even Daike Civilization finds it hard to launch overwhelming attacks on Human Civilization, doing so would result in defeats on other fronts, possibly endangering their entire civilization.

They can only mobilize forces likely to clinch victory based on intelligence collection and analysis, but this presupposes flawless intelligence and no unforeseen events.

Clearly, Gong Chu’s advancement to Master of Primordial Energy was completely unexpected.

The Daike People conducted evaluations.

Given the residual cultural heritage collected by Humanity, it’s utterly insufficient for any strong person among them to advance.

Yet, how could they predict the return of the Shen Clan?

That turned a war originally poised for dominance into one of equilibrium, and by the time Daike Civilization further bolsters support, it would take at least centuries, within this time, Human Civilization could utilize the Collector to acquire more developments and cards from Gus Land.

This is the core strategy for long-term conflict.

Relying on continuous rapid development to vie for victory with Daike Civilization until both parties’ strengths gradually reach balance.

The true victory over Daike Civilization would also mark humanity’s ascension to the top of C-level Civilizations.

Daike Civilization took roughly four thousand years to evolve from newly entering C-level to their current stage, humanity using a number of millennia to fight this development-included war is not an exaggeration.

After listening, Shen Shi could only sigh.

But he seemed unable to help much.

During his time in the black market, he realized this future line can no longer be altered by the past, it seems to have become a truly independent timeline, everything that happened here is a definite past for them.

In this case...

It also means the accumulation and gains he achieved here are likewise preserved.

Indeed.

Shen Shi suddenly realized, this is almost like providing himself a reasonable logic for altering the past.

After all, if this timeline completely disappeared, everything he did in the past would not exist in the concept of the future, falling into time paradoxes, but now, every transaction still remains, all past changes are completely solidified alongside the consolidation of this timeline.

Time Crystal... is undoubtedly a quite mature product for altering time.

It’s almost enveloping the entire Cosmos within its influence and effects.

One really wonders how powerful a civilization capable of creating such a device must be.
